...He should save for Six months and quit the job or better still, choose to love his job! At a point in life, we determine our happiness and its strictly a choice issue! 1 Like |

.there is no point keeping a job you are not happy about even when you know you can be your own boss and earn 200k with room for expansion ,,, many nigerians dont earn up to 80k self.. bro leave the job and stay happy with your family, lifes too short let your wife and kids enjoy you before you die. you wont be there for ever wether you like it or not you will leave someday. 1 Like |

He is not asking this question from an infinte knowledge, he is asking from mortals like himself, so the only way to find out is to try things out. Leave the job and try your hand in the new business venture, if it burns, it's ur pain. If otherwise, it's your gain. Your life, your will. 2 Likes |

nyben4eva: I've been in almopst similar shoes before....he should look into his thoughts, he thoughts are on negative things and things that depress him.(Thoughts of leaving his family behind) Let him change his thoughts.....joy and happiness is a choice and its not dependednt on outward things or material things but based on quality of our thoughts. No guts to glory, he should venture into the new biz, a biz that can fetch 200k a month can potentially be 1 million a month. His present employers once started out like him 2 Likes |

..It is called WORK-LIFE BALANCE.. one of the most difficult thing to attain.. you are torn between being a family man and getting the resources to take care of your family.. most people look at successful wealthy peeps and read their biographies.. these guys made deep sacrifices that meant pushing family aside.. it is tough but if your spouse understands and bears.. you can push forward and attain greater goals and more money.. you cannot do 50-50 when it comes to work-life balance.. you can aim for 85-15 2 Likes 1 Share |

nyben4eva:op,ur friend should make sure that he save enough of money before he tender resignation letter so that it will not affect his new bussiness because of his stardard of living he is used to. About d family,it is very important to be with his family always bt if there is no enough money to better ur life nd family ,ur presence is nothing. So save well, well, then resign,after that face ur business squarely. Nice day 1 Like |

My humble advice is for that your friend to keep working there and save up enough money to go into business. Because considering that our economy is not smiling at all, he can't afford to quit now. 2 Likes |

I feel your friends pain. It is not easy to be away from one's family especially when kids are involved. He should weigh his options carefully. Is it possible for him to be redeployed to the office? Is his wife employed? in case his business slows down they can have something to fall back on. |

Your friend should plan his exit strategically. The worst thing he can do is to act rashly. I hope with all the money he has been earning for the past 8 years he has at lest managed to complete a house. His next step should be to put some money aside for intervening period between when he quits his job and when he get's a new one. With a CV from an American company, finding a new job should not be too difficult. By the way, you didn't mention whether there are no opportunities for advancement in your friend's company which he can take advantage of. Is it not possible that he can be promoted to a senior management post where he can work in an air-conditioned office and have an official car and driver? If so, he should think twice before giving up. 1 Like |

Nothing should be 'do or die' affair in life. If he's fade up with the job owing to the demand the job places on him, i think he can hand over such lucrative pay packaged job to those of us who need it. Hasn't he heard 'business before pleasure' before? Believe me, if he considers quitting the job, he should also consider declining majorly in most aspect of life in terms of being able to afford goods in life. He knows the lifestyle he's been living earning such package and if he resigns now to concentrate on his business which expectedly to earn him 200k, he shouldnt forget his lifestyle will also revolve around 200k. The wife when she begins to experience shortage of cash for make up and other frivolous things they do, the real side of her will emerge as all aready know and if he fails to handle things properly in such scenes, she will gladly dump his sorry ass and move to the next dude who earns good package. Also, he should also consider the future of his children. That is why he is a father to them. Work even harder and lay good foundation for those kids pls. 1 Like |

it is a pity with your friend i was in such situation some time ago. my humble advice is that he should give himself a target and work towards it. try a accumulate some money and let his wife go and start off the business. he should not resign if the wife's business has not taken off successfully. it is not easy to continue working while u are not happy. |
